Hiding the bars

[JMO]

I wonder if the game would be any more challenging if you tried to hide bars. Edit the "165" bitmap so the red, green, blue, and peach bars are all gray. You'd still get overall player ratings, but you wouldn't know where a player's strengths were or where masks might be. Not sure there would be a particular joy in doing it that way, but it might make it more challenging.

Cuervo72 said this over on Quiksand's Action Points thread. I wonder is this possible? It seems like a very interesting idea. I guess I have a few questions.

1 Is it possible?

2 Would it add or detract from the gameplay?

I'd love to try it out if it possible..

You can make the bars all gray, but you'd have to avoid the numbers next to all the bars.

It's pretty easy to do with reshacker. But you can't get rid of the numbers, AFAIK. Which makes the process futile basically.
